Punishment Fits the Crime

I hear the bells of freedom chiming
But inside my heart I feel I'm dying
Wise guys never compromise
Then they lose their rights and they act surprised
Jail really cuts you down to size
Let the punishment fit the crime
The footprints on the sand of time
The philosophy of the warish crime
Make a man humble in his prime
You can go up down or sideways
Be on death row counting the days
They say the answers are blowing in the wind
And to take yourself out would really be a sin
And you just have to cope and start over again
Let the punishment fit the crime
The footprints on the sand of time
The philosophy of the warish crime
Make a man humble in his prime
Little child cries in his sleep
And life makes promises it can't keep
And then you feel you had had enough
You realize somehow someway
Your destiny was planned from the very first day
Let the punishment fit the crime
The footprints on the sand of time
The philosophy of the warish crime
Make a man humble in his prime
Let the punishment fit the crime
The footprints on the sand of time
The philosophy of the warish crime
Make a man humble in his prime
Let the punishment fit the crime
Let the punishment fit the crime
Let the punishment fit the crime
Let the punishment fit the crime
